Want to photograph you with my mind, to feel how I feel now all the time.

Star Wars and the Power of Costume Exhibition

The Star Wars and the Power of Costume exhibit recently opened in Discovery Times Square. I’ve gone twice already. It is a amazing. They have great collection of costumes, headdresses and some props. There is some history about the costumes, the inspiration and some concept art. They also had some swatches of the fabrics that you could touch! That was cool because I was just itching to touch all the costumes, look inside at the construction and to even try on Padmé’s gowns. Natalie is petite and so am I. I can fit into her costumes.

My critiques:

*Leia’s white gown from A New Hope was mislabeled as being from The Empire Strikes Back.

*Now that The Hunger Games costume exhibit closed the Star Wars one should expand. There were many more of Padmé’s costumes not on display as well as many more of Leia’s. They had none of her, (nor Han’s or Luke’s) costumes from Hoth, Cloud City, or Endor.

* We could take photos with no flash because some of the costumes are so old and sensitive to light. But they should turn the house lights brighter. It made it difficult to see in some rooms and made for terrible photos since the flash was forbidden.

Just a suggestion 😉

Without further ado below are just a fraction of the photos I took.
After the introduction video we first see Ben Kenobi’s and Queen Amidala’s gown. These two were completely behind glass.

The Jedi and the Sith.

Luke and Anakin:

The droids. BB-8 is much bigger than I imagined. I have been thinking he’s (she’s?) only as big as a soccer ball.

The Stormtroopers’ room was so cool They set it up with mirrors and the helmets suspended from the ceiling!
